10.5 mm

How many play reg pool with a 10.5 mm hard tip?

Although I don't play pool with it all the time, I have a Go Custom cue with 10.5 mm CF shaft with a ZAN grip hard on it. I really like it, but somedays my stroke isn't accurate enough.

10.5 but medium

Tip size doesn't affect stroke accuracy.

But I can get more spin with it, right?

Tried it for a bit and went back to 11.8mm. Just didn't feel right to me for rotation games.

Sure it is just in my head.

10.5 mm is what my best snooker cue was…with a caromish taper….my pool cues are 12 mm with the same taper.
I hate the ‘push’ factor of the larger tip with a pool ball….but I hate the ‘Massé’ factor of the smaller tip with a pool ball.

It does when you put side spin on the ball.

Tips of different diameters but the same curvature will hit the ball on the same spot if moved the same distance from center.

Played a weekly 9 ball tournament about 15 years ago with a snooker cue using a long back stroke pause and managed to win the tournament. Then never shot another game of pool with that cue. Good snooker cue, glad I have it. I would like to hear reactions from the scientific pool luminaries about the advantages or not from smaller diameter tips.

Yes and no.
If you don't have the stroke to utilize the tool, your accuracy will be affected. In golf, a golf ball is a golf ball, but if you don't have the swing speed to compress a particular ball, then you're using the wrong ball.

Same with any size tip - no more or less.

Not in my experience.

My CH speed is around 85ish, went to a tad softer pellet(TM Tour Response) and i love it. Lot cheaper than ProV's too.

Not in my experience.

I think you're misinterpreting your experience - it contradicts geometry.

Think of two tips with different widths but the same curvature. The smaller one is identical with the inner part of the larger one (with a small layer removed from the outer edge) - so unless you're trying to hit on the outermost edge of the tip, either tip will contact the CB on the same spot if moved the same distance from center ball.

Try the Vice Pro Air. Great ball. If you buy a few dozen, they're even cheaper than the TM Response.
